Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 26,182. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Nov. 30. Dyes, artificial.-Dyes which dye unmordanted wool and are of the class described in Specification No. 7387, A.D. 1902, are produced by condensing amido-, oxy-, or amido-oxy-anthraquinones, or their leuco compounds or alkyloxy, bromo, or other derivatives, with the salts of sulphonic or carboxylic derivatives of aromatic amines in the presence of reducing-agents. The anthraquinone derivatives used have the general formulawhere R represents a hydroxyl or amido group and R<1> either hydrogen or a hydroxyl, an amido, or an alkyloxy group. Suitable examples are 1 :4 :5- trioxy anthraquinone, 1 : 4 : 5 : 6- and 1 : 4 : 5 : 8- tetroxy anthraquinone, 1 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 8- pentacyanin, 1 : 4- amidooxy- or amidomethoxy-anthraquinone, 1 : 4 - diamidoanthraquinone, diamidoanthrarufin (OH : OH : NH2 : NH2 # 1 : 5 : 4 : 8), diamidochrysazin (OH : OH : NH2 : NH2 # 1 : 8 : 4 : 5), methyl ethers of symmetrical diamidodioxyanthraquinones, 1 : 4 : 5 : 8-tetramidoanthraquinone and the like. The following amido acids have been used :-Sulphanilic acid, metanilic acid, toluidine sulphonic acid (CH3 : SO3H : NH2 = 1 : 2 : 4), pamidobenzyl sulphonic acid, naphthylamine sulphonic acids, amidobenzoic acids, and amidosalicylic acid. In an example, tetramidoanthraquinone is heated in a reflux apparatus with sodium sulphanilate, stannous chloride, boric acid, anhydrous sodium acetate, and glacial acetic acid. The mass is extracted with hot water, and the dye is salted out. It dyes unmordanted wool blue shades in an acid bath. The dyes described in Specification No. 23,927, A.D. 1894, are disclaimed. Amidomethoxyanthraquinone (OH : COOH : NH2 # 1 : 2 : 4) is stated to be produced by nitrating and then reducing a-methoxyanthraquinone.
